2/team/members/list/continue API returning 500 without error information

This seems to be happening for a specific batch of members. How can I not get such an error and get all the members easily ?  "x-dropbox-request-id": [ "8e3c9c3b8b523f80e63b2164ff147732" ] ...

    Thanks! That supports what I've been able to determine about this issue. It appears to be a transient issue that can occur when looking up the requested information. That being the case, I do recommend implementing some automatic retrying.

    Additionally, it may help to use a lower 'limit' value when initially calling /2/team/members/list. That page size will follow through to the /2/team/members/list/continue calls as well.

    I shall add auto retry. However, the limit value defaults to 1000 right ?
